[1] John OLIVER of Tullymore. He was probably a farmer with interests in linen. [2] The connection of Samuel OLIVER to the OLIVERs of Tullymore is particularly interesting. There are no direct hits with data, so I will mention the clues: We know from the Ballybay Church records that there was a Samuel OLIVER who married a Mary WILLIAMSON and had three children in the 1830s. We also know that a further connection to our line of OLIVERs and Ballybay existed because Eliza OLIVER (mother of Sir Thomas JACKSON) daughter of Benjamin OLIVER whose brothers likely had leases at Tullymore also got married in the Ballybay Church. The Minterturn, Co. Tyrone baptisms also record a Samuel OLIVER (husband of Jane ALLEN who had previously married a WILSON) who seemed to be residing in Co. Down, but had three children baptized in Tyrone (1877-1885). Another Samuel OLIVER had a daughter Margret Anne OLIVER who married a John JACKSON in 1854. A celebrated elder of Ballybay was also a Samuel OLIVER (1843-1917). [3] John ALFORD [4] John HEATHER [5] William WILSON
